I followed all the steps from the tutorial gabsoftware.com/tips/tutorial-install-gnome-desktop-and-gnome-display-manager-on-openbsd-4-8 to put gnome up and running in one ACER Aspire laptop - running OpenBSD 4.9.

However, the gnome does not load after booting. Only if I run nautilus, then it kind of start some parts of the gnome (the sunny beach wallpaper appears on desktop), but no complete gnome environment takes off really -- e.g. no main menu, gnome panel, etc appears.

According to this suggestion - lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-February/169268 , I tried to run the command

But it still did not run, unless I open a terminal and type gnome-session, but although starting, gnome still gives the following errors that appears on that same terminal:

----
$ gnome-session
warning: could not connect to consolekit: failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket> No such fuile or directory
warning: arguments to dbus_connection_get_data() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file /usr/obj/i386/dbus-1.4.1/dbus-1.4.1/dbus/dbus-connection.c line 5981.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
----

As mentioned before, I already have installed dbus: pkg_add dbus. However, the system gives these error message.

In addition I have also put:
/usr/local/bin/gnome-session in file /home/username/.xinitrc

Hint #1: OpenBSD documentation for ports and packages can be found primarily in two places. a) FAQ 15, on general function of the package tools and ports tree, and b) installed when a package is installed, or posted as an installation message, or both.

Hint #2: The gnome-session package places a README file for OpenBSD on your system when you install it. You will probably find it here:

I can say to have worked with all kinds of OS. After all these years, I must admit that OpenBSD won preference and deserve my passion for it: portability, safety, reliability, are just few qualities to name.
